Hejira: Celebrating Joni Mitchell

‘Hejira’ is a formidable, highly successful 7-piece touring band, set up in 2023 to celebrate the ‘greatest songs’ of Joni Mitchell. In particular, the band performs the masterpiece works that Mitchell recorded from ‘Court & Spark’ to ‘Wild Things Run Fast’. The band has produced 10 high-quality videos for Youtube, amassing many more than 1,500,000 views and garnering thousands of glowing comments. They have, in their short history, played more than 140 shows in the UK and Ireland, and this summer on their first US tour.

They are returning to Exeter, to perform at the much-loved creative hub, the Exeter Phoenix, on Sunday 4 October. Expect an evening of the ‘great’ songs from Mitchell’s back catalogue, such as ‘Amelia’, ‘Help Me’, 'A Case Of You’, ’Song For Sharon’, 'Free Man in Paris’ etc.!
